Re: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Study

The reporting of this study is junk. One, we have no links to this 'study' that was done that I could see. Second, the exact number of individuals studied was not specified, nor were any nuimber of other major points that should have been discussed. Instead of giving us the 'meat and potatoes' version of the study, they gave us an inflamitory story and then informed us that they really did not know what they were talking about because it might not actually mean what they said it meant. I do not know if they are idiots or lunatics.

Also....these things are not all 'generation(s) ago.....in many instances they are only '1' generation back and sometimes in 'this' generation. 'Under the law'..... the scriptures say we are accountable to the 'third' and 'fourth' generation....but that God would show mercy to thousands....those who love Him and keep His commandments.
It is not at all a matter of what 'I think'....this was the law. Without 'Salvation'/without Jesus, the law still applies.

Re: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Study

About 99% of black Americans will vote for Obama again. From their perspective, they feel they've been messed over by plenty of white men for centuries, so they don't care about how good president Obama is, they think, "why vote for another white man? It's cool to have a black president."

I guess I can understand that logic to some extent. They don't care. George W. Bush appointed the first two black Secretaries of State: Colin Powell in his first term, Condi Rice in his second.

These two black Republicans both voted for the Democrat Obama because he was black like them. Powell didn't bother to hide it, flat out pledging all his support to Obama. Rice, a bit more embarrassed, refused to confirm or deny she had voted for him.

Long story short, most black folks will vote for Obama again regardless of his politics. They feel empowered by having a black man in office.

(I'm white, maybe I shouldn't have responded. Oh well.)

It isn't 99% but it will be about 90. You have to understand that in the black community anyone who is considered a conservative is thought of as an Uncle Tom. If your self made AND black then you only made it by stepping on the heads of your bruthas.

Re: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Study

My understanding is that Democratic voters are pretty disillusioned with the O in general, suggesting a low voter turnout. I'm sure with his $Billion chest, he has some ideas there, but apathy is apathy, and I'm hearing that the "evangelical right" voters are the pivotal ones this election. I sure hope they get to choose between the Newt and Paul, lol.

Oh, and look for some cheesy giveaway, funded by your grandkids, late summer or so...

Truthseeker....do you ever actually 'read' the posts that you reply to? Yes. I firmly believe that the 'LAW still applies' for those who are not obedient and have not given our lives 100% to Jesus Christ.
Have you read the bible at all? .....but then, this topic is addressing those with low iq. I do not care to 'dig' at you...but it appears that 'you' are 1. intentionally trying to provoke me, or 2. Not very able to pay attention.

All the blacks that I have talked to hate obama. They will not vote for him. They do not like anything he has done.

1) I don't think Obama has ever had the support of 99% of all black Americans.

2) You don't see the wrongness in this statement? MANY if not MOST people who will cast their vote Obama would be casting their vote for whoever the Democrats present-- just like the MANY if not MOST who will hold their nose and vote for Romney would vote for whoever the GOP presents.

3) Who are they and why don't they care? Maybe they don't care because most blacks who vote don't just vote for along skin color like you are insinuating.

4) Powell's decision to cross party lines could not have had ANYTHING to do with the fact that he was perturbed for being fed lies to present to the world and that to support McCain could have meant a continuance of policies grounded in lies?


Is Trump supporting Romney because he's white?

But you think it's perfectly true and acceptable and malign the character of General Colin Powell-- a man that was serving our country when you were doing what? Watching cartoons? Chasing skirts down your Middle School hallway? Courting your HS Sweetheart?

Who do you you (and those who repeat this baseless criticism of Powell) think you are? What? Must a Conservative ALWAYS support the GOP establishment? If a Conservative doesn't support the GOP establishment, can it symbolize a rebuke of the establishment?

Whites play the race card too.

5) Who's business is it who Rice voted for? Again, who do people think they are?

6) BALONEY! Do you know who Alan Keyes is? Do you think black people will "feel empowered" if he became President? Did you feel empowered when Clinton was President? Race and politics are not NEARLY as simple as you have tried to present it.

Re: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Study

Jcan, I have nothing against you personally, but I have taken issue with your post and the attitude projected.

I've heard this line of thought repeated by Rush, Hannity, and others and it is nothing less than insulting.
